About
Pazi Wyler (*1995, Basel, CH) lives and works in Zurich. She’s currently enrolled in the Bachelor’s program in Fine Arts at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK).
Her works are about maximalism, lust and the poetry of objects. In her praxis she’s browsing through digital and analog places where libido and obsession proliferate, such as thrift stores, online shopping and dating platforms, books, lidos, music and porn websites to collect new material.
By collecting not only objects but words and textfragments from these places she investigates the aesthetics and semiotics of sentences and objects of desire.
Through a humorous approach Pazi Wyler investigates the way collections are formed, how we categorize objects and how their value shifts by being put into a collection and where we set the line between hoarding and collecting. The way objects relate to one another and the space surrounding them, by either adapting to or resisting their environment fascinates her.
The rules of lust and domesticity, the sense of home and the reality of home as a place of patriarchal powerdynamics are central to her works.
